The Lodge at GlendornPennsylvania
Slip off to an intimate cottage at the Lodge at Glendorn, a charming “Rockefeller rustic”-style resort in the mountains of western Pennsylvania near the Allegheny National Forest. Family-owned and built around a 1929 estate, the property offers a full spa and plenty of outdoorsy diversions: Should you feel inclined, you can try your hand at fly-fishing in Fuller Brook or skeet shooting. If you prefer to maximize alone time with your new husband, the staff will discreetly slip into your living room to set up candlelit gourmet meals and light the fireplace or leave a pop-up picnic along your hiking route, then clean up after you’ve moved on.Room rates start at $425 a night; glendorn.com

Capella Marigot BaySt. Lucia
Reopening on August 15 under the Capella brand, which is known for its ultrapersonalized service, the Capella Marigot Bay faces a marina in the Caribbean and has lush mountains of St. Lucia rainforest in the back. The centerpiece of the resort is three waterfall-connected pools that lead to the Rum Cave, a bar specializing in spirits from local distilleries. The West Indian–inflected Auriga Spa sits under a canopy of tropical palms, but for a more local experience, the resort can arrange an excursion to the local hot springs, filled with healing sulfurous mud.Rates start at $450 a night; capellahotels.com

Argos in CappadociaCappadocia
The Turkish region of Cappadocia, with its jaw-dropping “fairy chimney” rock formations, is ideal for filling your Instagram feed with envy-inducing honeymoon selfies. Since the fourth century, inhabitants have carved into the supple volcanic stone to create the sort of subterranean chambers and dwellings that make up Argos, a luxury hotel built on the site of a former monastery. Today the accommodations are far from austere, with stone suites boasting private cave pools and sunny rock gardens. Honeymooners can make the most of the romantic setting with a four-night package that includes a hot-air balloon ride, horseback riding, and a tasting in the underground cellar, stocked with the region’s wine.Package rates start at $4,390; argosincappadocia.com

The Tribal Hotel and Aqua Wellness ResortNicaragua
For those who shudder at the thought of a traditional champagne-and-rose-petals honeymoon, Nicaragua offers a bohemian alternative. Jean-Marc Houmard, of New York’s Acme and Indochine, and business partner Yvan Cussigh just opened the seven-room Tribal Hotel in Granada, a 500-year-old colonial city on Lake Nicaragua with pretty outdoor cafes and a saffron cathedral overlooking the town. After a few days at the laidback luxe hotel—with daily breakfasts of organic coffee, tropical fruit, locally baked bread, and traditional eggs—head to the country’s Pacific coast and step into a rainforest tree house at Aqua Wellness Resort, with healthy locavore dishes, activities like sea kayaking and surfing, and a menu of couples’ spa treatments.Tribal Hotel rates start at $95; tribal-hotel.comAqua Wellness Resort rates start at $145; aquanicaragua.com

The St. Regis Resort Kauai
No list of honeymoon locales is complete without Hawaii, but for our money, we like to sneak away to the quieter, more unknown parts, like the surfer haven along Kauai’s north shore. Surrounded by taro farms and a wildlife refuge, the St. Regis Princeville resort on Hanalei Bay is near some of the best spots to hang ten, but those wanting a less active experience will find plenty of romantic options: Take a leisurely hike into the surrounding mountains, enjoy a couple’s Lomi Lomi massage with traditional Polynesian techniques, or reserve the colorful Trina Turk–designed cabana for the ultimate poolside lounging.Rates start at $1,200 a night; stregisprinceville.com
